pControl ProjectMilestone’s lead product, pControl, is a large-scale, Java-based system for the Finance industry, allowing Fund Managers to efficiently administer operations such as fund distribution, Pricing, Order management and Tax & Accounting requirements.pControl is a 3-tier system, with Java Swing rich-clients, and additional Web clients developed with Kendo and Freemarker; Tomcat is used for the AppServer; Coherence and then later Hazelcast for server and client-side caching; Hibernate for relational mapping; SQL Server and Oracle DBs. A custom scripting language, Rules, was developed to allow users to write procedures and workflows that extend pControl’s business logic.* Lead UI designer for pControl's desktop UI.* Developed and extensively refactored much of the Swing UI framework.* Designed and implemented many key pieces of functionality in pControl – an end-user design tool for Accounting reports; the diagrammatic representation of fund investments; interactive charting of fund balances, developed using JIDE Charts; dashboards for monitoring exceptions.* Created data models, implemented Hibernate mappings and SQL / HQL queries.* Implemented server-side business Entity components.* Experience in Spring.* Extensively used JUnit for unit testing.* Evaluated IDE frameworks for the Rules Script editor, and as part of a team of 3,designed and implemented the Script editor using NetBeans.* Developed a Perforce VCS plugin for the NetBeans IDE.* Performed code reviews, internal developer training and presentations, staffinterviews, build management.Java, Swing, Spring, Hibernate, ActiveMQ, JavaCC, JIDE, JUnit, Ant, Perforce, Bamboo, JIRA, UML, Agile development, SQL Server, IntelliJ v14, NetBeans v8, Windows.

Combined Insurance - Endeavour ProjectDeveloped a Java application for creating letters and marketing materials, using an XML-based markup language. Designed the UI and created a Swing applet for the graphical editing of the markup; the applet provided simultaneous graphical and textual two-way editing.Java, Swing, Xerces, BigFaceless, HTML/CSS, DB2, JBuilder, Windows NT.Telstra Enterprise Services - Operational Reporting ProjectDeveloped a JSP/Servlet-based website for Telstra, used to monitor SLA performance of the NAB website, at that time hosted by Telstra.JSP, Servlets, Express Reports, JDBC, HTML/CSS, Websphere AppServer, Oracle 9i, Windows 2000.Open Telecommunications - Number Analysis Editor ProjectDeveloped a Java Swing application for the graphical editing of number plan configurations, used to control telephone switching systems. CORBA was used for the integration with the telephone switch. Java, Swing, XML, CORBA, UML, JBuilder, Windows 2000.

(Formerly Mincom Pty Ltd)Selected projects:Minestar ProjectAs part of a team of 20, developed a command-and-control system for the real-time monitoring of operations in open-pit mines. Radio telemetry was collected from mine vehicles, and vehicles automatically assigned to new destinations. Lead a team of 4 developers, contributed to the development of the UI framework and many of the Swing UIs, drafted UI standards, and performed UI testing. As a lead developer I performed design reviews, code reviews, staff interviews and mentoring of other developers.Java, Swing, Servlets, RMI, CORBA, XML, HTML, Tomcat, Rational Rose, Iterative development, Oracle, JBuilder, Windows NT/95.EGEN and NGA ProjectsAn 18 month project prototyping a distributed OO system. A module of Mincom’s main product, Ellipse, was re-engineered with C++ servers on Oracle, CORBA for networking, and integration with IBM’s workflow system, FlowMark. Extensively researched the internationalisation of client-side and database components. This projects formed the blueprint for Mincom's distributed architectures for the next five years.ObjectGUI ProjectA 2½ year project implementing a GUI development environment for Mincom’s Ellipse project. The project successfully enabled the conversion of Ellipse from a 2-tier to a 3-tier architecture, providing the necessary framework to re-engineer 500+ form-based screens into GUIs. Responsible for the design of the UIs, contributed to the development of the UI framework in Borland Delphi, wrote Look & Feel guidelines for the Ellipse product, trained staff in UI design.MUI ProjectA 6 month project creating tools to translate Mincom’s repository of form-based COBOL screens into an XML-like tagged file format. Constructed a parser in Lex and Perl, running on Unix Solaris, to extract semantic information from the COBOL code.

Performed Unix System Administration for 15 developers, maintained the Progress development environment for Lattice, wrote a Version Control system based on RCS, and performed pre-sales support.

Developed in C a network monitoring tool for the Gold Lotto on-line project, running on a real-time derivative of Unix called PERPOS.
